What you and I want or feel we deserve usually doesn't matter. UA put forth the rules of MP, and you can choose to accept them, or you can choose a different airline. Or, well, you could buy enough shares of UAL to have some say as to what the rules should be to be logical.
(and yes, I agree that the rule isn't logical, but where's the rule that says rules need to be logical).
